Hunt for knifeman after horror stabbing in street during early hours

A street stabbing in the early hours of the morning has sparked a police hunt for a suspect who fled the scene.

Officers were called to a stabbing in Severn Sisters Road, North London, in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Witnesses said they saw a white car speed through a police cordon that had been set up to investigate the incident.

They also claimed one patient was seen being put into an ambulance.

Efrayim Goldstein, a community reverend, was on his way home when he says the vehicle sped through the scene.

He claimed an officer signalled to the car to stop before it swerved at the last second and clipped him. Metropolitan Police said the officer was treated by paramedics for shock.

In a statement they said: "Police dealt with a stabbing in Seven Sister Rd this morning.

"Victim sustained single stab wound. Suspect remain outstanding."

Mr Goldstein, a qualified first responder, rushed to help at the scene - claiming he saw one man who was "not breathing properly".

"He was lucky. He could've died. He was screaming and crying."

Mr Goldstein said a medic from London Ambulance Service (LAS) took over at the scene.

He went on to describe how he came across the scene at around 2am - just minutes after police and the LAS had descended in response to a reported stabbing.

Staying at nearby bus stop to take pictures, the reverend then watched a white car drive through the tape at 2.37am.

"He was driving quickly, there was black smoke as he turned. He swerved at the last second.

"He was swerving around the crime scene and went through the other tape."

He said police then sped off in pursuit of the car.

The Mirror Online has approached the Met Police for further comment.
